Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque, Chinese-style mosque in Jakabaring, Indonesia

The Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque features two red minarets shaped like pagodas, green domes, and Chinese-inspired decorative elements across its 20-meter-wide structure point.

The mosque, inaugurated in 2006, commemorates Admiral Zheng He who visited Palembang three times during his maritime expeditions in the Ming Dynasty period.

The mosque merges Indonesian, Chinese, and Islamic architectural elements, reflecting the integration of Chinese Muslim communities in South Sumatra's social landscape.

Located 7.3 kilometers from central Palembang, the religious complex includes educational facilities, administration offices, and multipurpose rooms for 500 worshippers.

The five-story minaret incorporates traditional Chinese temple design elements while representing the five pillars of Islam through its structural composition.
